VSP "working" flag in API

[xaur]

I would name the boolean flag operational or up. But yeah it can be generalized from a boolean to a enum called status with more than 2 values. Or even a status object like

{
    "up": false,
    "info": "Planned maintenance until 2020-05-10 10:15 UTC. Upgrading software."
}

or

{
    "up": true,
    "accepting_new_tickets": false,
    "info": "The VSP is shutting down on 2020-12-20 UTC. Please don't buy any more tickets."
}

Block height would be a nice addition to know for certain that the VSP is in sync with the network.

In any case, I hope the protocol is versioned so that the values of this new flag/enum/object will be correctly interpreted even if it is changed/extended later.
